Secondary button speed

Right Click Test

Only the right button scores. Handy for games that bind blocking or building to right click, and for checking a worn secondary switch.

How it works

  1. 1.

    No context menu

    The browser menu is suppressed on the dial so it does not interrupt your round.

  2. 2.

    Left clicks ignored

    Pressing the wrong button just shows a reminder; it never adds to the count.

  3. 3.

    Middle finger fatigue

    The right button is usually pressed by a weaker finger. Expect a lower score than on the left.

Questions

My right clicks are not counting.
On a Mac trackpad, enable secondary click in System Settings or use a two-finger tap.
Why is my right-click score lower?
The middle finger is less practised for rapid taps. That is normal.

Notes on this test

About this test

This test counts only right-button presses on the dial; left clicks are ignored. The page blocks the usual right-click menu on the dial so it does not interrupt your round.

Reading your result

Right-click speed is usually a little lower than left-click speed, because the middle finger is less practised at fast work. A gap of one or two CPS is normal.

Checking your right button

The right button wears less than the left on most mice, but it can still fail. Make ten slow clicks: the count should be ten. Extra counts point to a chattering switch, and missing counts to a sticky or worn one. Our guide to testing a new mouse includes a full checklist.

Left-handed users

If you have swapped the primary and secondary buttons in your system settings, the browser reports the swapped button. That means this test will score the physical button your system treats as secondary. See mouse settings on Windows and macOS for where the swap is set.
